Care Tips
Courgettes are very easy to grow and the key is not to plant too many of them. In the height of summer they will produce a bountiful supply of fruit and you may actually have to give lots of them away to friends and family! Most families will only need 2 or 3 courgette plants to last them over the season. Courgettes will thrive in a sunny, sheltered spot in nice rich soil that has had lots of organic matter added to it. Be careful with frosts as they are easily damaged in the cold
